Preserved history of London: long-standing and historical hotels

The Langham London Photo of The Langham London, London The Langham London is a true historical landmark of London. The opening of the hotel took place in 1865. For more than 100 years, the hotel has been serving famous and powerful people, including members of royal families. The luxurious hotel is famous not only for its history but also for ghosts that are rumored to live in it. For example, in room #333, visitors and maids saw a ghost of a man several times. The respectable looking man was dressed in a suit of the Renaissance period. This is not the only ghost spotted in the hotel as guests claim to have seen Napoleon III and a German prince that stayed at the hotel several times during his visits to London. Quite an interesting fact - The Langham London is the first grand hotel opened in Europe.
The May Fair The history of The May Fair is no less interesting. This prominent hotel greeted its first guests in 1927. King George V is known as the founder of this hotel, so the aristocratic vibe of The May Fair is totally understandable. Fortunately, the hotel hasn’t lost a bit of its elegance. Travelers are welcome to book guest rooms of different styles. There are bright rooms with premium velvet textiles and antique furniture, and stylish modern guest rooms made in light shades. Gourmet travelers are highly recommended to visit the high cuisine restaurant located at the hotel. The restaurant is also famous for the unusual and theatrical way of serving food.
